Gennady Spirin created one original, spectacular oil painting to
illustrate thirteen principal events in the life of Jesus: The
Annunciation, The Birth, The Baptism, The Child in the Temple,
The Fast and Temptation of Jesus, The Marriage at Cana, The Sermon on
the Mount, The Transfiguration, The Raising of Lazurus at Bethany,
The Last Supper, The Crucifixion, The Resurrection, and The Ascension
into Heaven. Each section of Spirin's painting corresponds to the events
in Jesus' life and has been lifted and reproduced to illustrate the book's
Biblical text. A note about the painting and the book's innovative design
is included.
